Changes will soon be made to the traffic lights along Roche Street in Knoxville.

City Manager Harold Stewart informed the Knoxville City Council Monday evening that the three lights at Main, Marion, and Pleasant will become flashing red and yellow lights as part of a traffic study to determine the necessity of the lights. The study will also include options to improve Highway 14.
Also during the meeting, the Knoxville City Council approved four new members to the Knoxville City Fire Department and one reserve officer to the Knoxville Police Department. They also approved an agreement between the city and the Knoxville Economic Development Corporation.
